Work clothing solution

[Simon Mason]

Last time I was on night shift I took my trousers and shirt home for washing in the car, then I was
off work for a week until today's morning shift when I rode in.

I didn't want to have to carry my clothes in a rucksack, so during the week I took my clothing and
put them in a large Jiffy bag and posted them to myself at work. When I got here this morning, there
was the package in my pigeonhole with the clothes in. Brilliant! Good job the posties aren't on
strike yet.

Have you tried a washing machine? It is much better at getting your clothes clean?

Ah, but what would you have done if they hadn't been there?

He'd have worn the spare set he _does_ carry in his rucksack 'just in case' ... ;)

I've been caught out like that (having forgotten to pack clean trousers) and ended up buying a new
pair at the Next round the corner. Have also had to buy new ties (Ciro Citterio round the corner),
braces, cufflinks and other bits.

Luckily there are many corners near where I work in Holborn.

Rather than take dirty ones home and bring in clean ones, I bring in the clean stuff first, then
take the dirty stuff home that evening. So at least I have something to wear.

I always have one spare set kept at work just in case.
